Aging Process Essay

The first article I chose to read was about grief, and how to cope with it. The loss of a loved one cause’s great stress can temporarily interfere with concentration, decision making, and work performance. With enough support and help, grief can promote personal growth of all of those involved in the process. According to this article, grief can be triggered by extreme isolation, depression, or other additive behaviors. Other indicators that show one who is dealing with grief may include quick replacement of the lost relationship or avoidance of any reminder of or imitation of the deceased. Many people who experience these symptoms need some sort of intervention by health care professionals. According to this article, there are many different types of grief that one can experience. These types include chronic grief, delayed grief, exaggerated grief, masked grief, and disenfranchised grief. Chronic grief begins as “normal grief,” but instead of going away, it continues for a very long time. Some people tend to define themselves by their losses, which leads to the development of chronic grief. Delayed grief is when a survivor consciously or unconsciously holds back their feelings in order to avoid pain, such as avoiding discussion of the deceased, or working too much. In masked grief, the survivor is not aware that their response to grief is getting in the way of them performing daily functions. One who is experiencing this may refuse help. Disenfranchised grief can occur when a survivor can’t fully acknowledge the loss of a loved one because the relationship may be considered unacceptable. Those who experience this type of grief may be those who are gay or lesbian partners. There have been many studies done on the effects of care giving to those who are going through grief and loss. In a recent study, 129 spouse care givers were asked to rate their levels of care giving. Those who had little or no involvement in the care of a terminally ill...

Midlife Transition
Young adults eventually enter middle adulthood, but the progression is not always smooth. In the US, the age of 49 signals the true beginning of “middle age.” However in the Midlife, there is often a sense of urgency involved. As people realize that they are no longer young, they begin to think in terms of how many years they have left. They start to focus on signs of physical decline and an awareness of aging. Not everyone become miserable and depressed. For some people, this is the time for reassessing their life’s goals and refocusing their energies on new interests and activities. For others, it is the time if terrible upheaval and loss of purpose. Midlife crisis is not inevitable.
Middle Adulthood: 40-59
Men become more emotionally expressive and warm, more giving of themselves than before. Relationships begin to be more important than career or money. Women are growing more independent and assertive, more determined to go out in their own and do what they want to do instead of making so many compromises for the family. For a while, this situation can create conflicts. As the husband turns to his family to develop...

...As humans, it is known that aging is part of growing up. The average human has a life expectancy of seventy-seven years old in the United States (Why do we age?). Most people dread their birthdays when they get to a certain age simply because that is another year older. Some people even fear aging assuming that they are another year closer to death. Does this feeling have to be this way? Should people have to fear getting older? Should they actually be looking forward to it? Many Americans do not know the answer to these questions and that is okay. There are a lot of theories and tests done by scientists to show how aging occurs. Even though aging happens to everyone, humans do have the ability to slow down how quickly they age.
The agingprocess as it is known involves many different theories. One theory is that our genes determine the length of time humans have to live their lives. Some scientists have said that if this is true, there should be a way to manipulate that age-figuring gene to make people live longer lives. Another theory as to why aging happens is that over time our bodies, along with its DNA, cannot function properly because of getting damaged. If these damages get too serious, our bodies eventually stop working the way they should because of not being able to handle the damages any longer. A third theory that scientists gathered is that...

The study of aging, which is known as gerontology, (Non-restrictive) has particularly progressed (Present Perfect)in recent years. Scientists have been trying (Present Perf. Prog) to develop theories of aging for centuries, and neither of them has been accepted. There are two main categories of aging theories, such as programmed theories and damage theories. Programmed theories say that life expectancy is genetically (present passive)predestined. According to the Hayflick Limit Theory, humans cells stop functioning and then die ( participial phrase) after dividing about fifty to sixty times. Damage theories say that damage to our cells is responsible for aging. Cells accumulate free radicals that can damage parts of our cells such as proteins and DNA.
Nowadays, aging is being concerned (Present Prog.Passive) by many of us because we want to look good and live healthy. Today, people are looking for different ways to prevent aging. Many of us are trying to figure out what causes aging, so we are doing everything for that. For example, here in the United States, Americans spend (present) millions on anti-aging therapies, diet products and anti-aging products like serums, gels, powders and creams that are all promising to be the fountain of youth. We...

...The AgingProcess
As we grow in to adulthood, many things start to change in our life. Aging is an unavoidable process, beginning at conception and ending with death. The process does not proceed at a uniform rate all over the body. As we age, the organ systems of individuals age at different rates. Our body gradually slows down in early adult life. These changes are not apparent until perhaps 50 years of age as they are not perceptible.
The skeletal system gradually changes over the years until it is porous and brittle, as the bones lose calcium and their density. This may be more pronounced in women with menopause. These losses are multifactioral and involve age related changes (reduce CA absorption, increased bone resorptive activity and decreased osteoblast bone formation), physical inactivity, hormone deficiency, and nutritional insufficiencies. As a result, people may become more prone to fractures, notice a decrease in height or even develop a stoop in your posture.
It is very important to maintain the balance between the activities of osteoblasts and osteoclast for bone health and strength. In addition, hence, adequate calcium intake and physical activity is important in the elderly in preventing the osteoporosis.
Nervous system as people age, their brain can go through natural changes. The brain and spinal cord lose nerve cells and weight. Nerve cells may...

...﻿How to Make Paper Quilling
It was Saturday morning and it was my friend’s birthday, her name is Putri. I was confused what gift I should give to her. When I went to the Central Library, I found a book titled “Paper quilling”. Paper quilling is art of rolling paper that had known since 17th century. It was found in Europe and it was used by nun to decorate the religius things. I was interested in the book, so, I read it. I thought it was difficult at first. When I tried to make it, it was not as difficult as I thought. Making paper quilling is easy if you follow these steps.
First, prepare the equipment. The equipment you need are colored-papers scissor, needle tool, and glue. Second, make the quilling strips. You can make it by yourself. Cut the colored-paper into particular sized paper. You can cut the paper into 1 cm wide each pieces. It depends on the shape you are going to make. The third, roll the paper strip by using needle tool. Keep rolling the paper strip until the whole quilling strip is rolled around the needle tool. Next, pull off the roll. When you have rolled the paper strip, take it off. If you want a loose roll, put it down and let it lax by it self. After that, glue the paper together. You can use stick or toothpick to stick on the glue. Next, pinch the roll into the shape that you want. For example, if you want to make a leaf, just pinch the tip of the roll. Finally, glue all of pieces that you made together and arrange those rolls.
As you can...

while you are cooking you chicken, if the water is boiling, then you can start
boiling you noodles. When your chicken is done all the way through then we
make the sauce. Right there in the same pan that you cooked you chicken in,
add your two cans of Cream of Mushroom soup and your two cans of Cream of
Chicken soup. After dumping the soup into the pan, you will then need to guess
on the amount of milk that you put into the sauce. The more milk that is added
the thinner the sauce will be, and the less milk that is added will give you a nicer
creamier sauce. It depends on how thick or thin you like your sauces. Make sure
to keep stirring the noodles through out their cooking process, or they will all
be stuck together. While finishing cooking the noodles turn the heat down on
the sauce so that all it is going to do is warm up. You don’t want the sauce to
boil or else it will take longer to thicken up even if the amount of milk was
small. It only takes about 3-5 minutes for the sauce to warm all the way
through. Once the noodles are done then you can strain the water off of them.
Add about 1 tablespoon of butter to the drained noodles and stir them really
good to get that butter mixed in, this will keep the noodles from sticking
together until they can be served. Finally, all you need to do now is dish up your
plate of chicken primavera and enjoy. This recipe...

... sadness, and the inability to interact with babies. Guilt is the runner up for common emotional affect. Guilt is a feeling of remorse. Guiltiness comes when someone is not confident with the abortion and when someone is unable to rationalize the need for the abortion. Having an abortion can have physical affects. Trying to have a baby later on down the line is a risk after having an abortion. When having an abortion your cervix is dilated this will cause issues later on down the line. But the biggest risk is having a higher risk of getting breast cancer. According to The National Cancer Institute, Women who have abortions increase their risk of breast cancer by fifty percent. Abortion of a first pregnancy interrupts the natural growth process of the breast, leaving millions of cells at a high risk.
Take the time out and think about how your future will be if you don’t go through with an abortion. Consider being a parent for a moment. Giving birth is such a beautiful thing and not every female is given the gift of child bearing. Think about the joy that comes with seeing your baby for the first time. Think about the mother intuition that is developed while the baby is still in the womb, and think about how your baby will believe the world is in your hands and you are their hero. It is a scary, but an exciting feeling all at the same. Love consumes your heart, but having an abortion doesn’t give you the opportunity to experience this love and excitement. Of...
